The Toronto Blue Jays sold out Tuesday night's game against the Texas Rangers at SkyDome after offering $1 tickets in an effort to show the city remains vibrant despite SARS. The sellout was announced before the World Health Organization lifted its warning against nonessential travel to Toronto, saying it was satisfied with the city's measures to stop the spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome. The tickets sold for $1 Canadian -- 69 cents in U.S. currency.

at Texas 6-5, Oakland 3-2: Scott Feldman gave up five hits over six innings, and the Rangers completed a doubleheader sweep.

CHICAGO -- Carlos Quentin hit a tiebreaking home run leading off the bottom of the seventh inning Saturday, closer Bobby Jenks escaped a ninth-inning jam and the White Sox made it two in a row over the Cubs with a 6-5 victory. Quentin drove an 0-2 pitch from Carlos Marmol (1-3) for an opposite-field home run into the Cubs' bullpen in right field -- his 18th -- to break the 5-5 tie. Derrek Lee was five for five with three runs batted in for the Cubs, who have lost seven of 11.

The way David Dellucci's luck had been going, he figured his hard-hit liner would be caught for the final out. "I went from frustration to elation," he said. Dellucci's hit was just out of the reach of a diving Jermaine Dye, and skipped into the right-field corner. The double drove home two runs to give the Texas Rangers a 5-4 win over Oakland on Thursday and a three-game sweep. "We knew we had to do that," said Brian Jordan, who scored the winning run.

The biggest crowd to pack Kauffman Stadium since opening day saw five home runs, 10 doubles and one bench-clearing, shirt-ripping brawl.

"It's been two of the funnest games I can ever remember playing here."
